CCFL Halo Projector Headlights

I’m looking to see what options there are for HIDs/Projectors. (On a GSR non-SSS). I don’t want to install an HID kit with standard reflector headlights, as I'm not big on the the appearance, and don’t like blinding oncoming drivers.

Has anyone bought the ones below? What’s the quality? Did they come up with a way around the DRLs? Also, who did you buy from? I’ve done a lot of researching on other car forums, and most retailers that carry this lack after sale support.

Or is there another product out there for the X? I’m looking for a reputable company that sells the entire headlight assembly, not a company who modifies my OEM ones after I mail them.

And yes.. I read all the posts about saying it cheapens the car, halos are for bimmers etc etc... so no point of continuing to beat that horse.

I wouldn't mind getting these if they were priced decently. Is there a way to leave the halo's and LED's off while having the HID's on?

*Nevermind, for the price, the regular ones do just fine for me*

You can unplug whatever wires you dont want hooked up, theres an easy disconnect. Ive disable my inner halos and the outers you cant tell when the hids are on.

SpeedI2acerX, thanks for the info. With regards to the halo/LEDs, they are separate wires, correct? Are there instructions for it to show where to wire it in. ie parking lights?

Did you wire your LEDs? Do they have an OEM feel, or does it look like a cheap aftermarket setup?

And yet, you felt you had to continue beating it. Great input. Appreciate it.

its not really hard to install. if you know how to take the headlight out then you'll know how to put it back it. the hardest part is to mount the hid unit. when i got it there were no instructions on which wires is which. i just had to unplug and see. there's no labels or anything. its plug and play. i unhook the led, didnt like the way it looked.

what they do is take a oem headlight and modify it so yes it "feel" oem.
